Curved, up-swept style which mimics the shape of a cat's eye and instantly gives the face an uplifting, flattering and effortlessly feminine appearance. An amazing statement piece to give any outfit a vintage, edgy look.

A quintessentially masculine shape from the 1950's ad 1960's, Pantos, short for pantoscopic quite literally means seeing everything. They're a combination of oval and round, with a high hinge creating a wide view. Today, this shape is a modern classic with wide appeal, valued for its retro design and versatility.

Called this for the way the bold upper part of the rim frames the lenses in the same way that the eyebrows frame the eye. Round in shape with a thick acetate trim on the upper rim, this is another retro style that's seen a surge in popularity in recent years.

If the frame of the lens is wider than it is tall, it is probably a rectangle. Angular rectangle frames work well on round faces, and they can add length to a short face by contrast. Oval faces can also benefit from rectangular frames with softer edges.
